Here are 4 different videos from Coaches Insider featuring Coach Nick Kohl, assistant coach at Wisconsin-La Crosse (formerly Wartburg College).
Watch as Coach Nick Kohl explains, and a long jumper demonstrates these BOSU ball stability drills. The focus of the drill is to work on the core and ankle stability. This is a controlled movement, raising the knee up and extending the foot. Make sure to work each leg for 8 to 10 reps. Beginners can lean against the wall or a coach so as not to worry about falling. Adding a weight held above the head takes away arm stability and turning the BOSU ball over makes the drill more difficult.

Watch as Coach Nick Kohl explains, and jumpers demonstrate these strength drills. Rooties involve holding a weight which isolates the arms and makes the jumpers use their hips in this posture drill. Pogos place emphasis on ankle flexibility and working on calf power.
